JK Rowling in ‘arrest me’ challenge over Scottish hate crime law - eviltoast
The Harry Potter author described several transgender women as men in a series of social media posts.

JK Rowling has challenged Scotland’s new hate crime law in a series of social media posts - inviting police to arrest her if they believe she has committed an offence.

The Harry Potter author, who lives in Edinburgh, described several transgender women as men, including convicted prisoners, trans activists and other public figures.

She said “freedom of speech and belief” was at an end if accurate description of biological sex was outlawed.

Earlier, Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf said the new law would deal with a “rising tide of hatred”.

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 creates a new crime of “stirring up hatred” relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.

Ms Rowling, who has long been a critic of some trans activism, posted on X on the day the new legislation came into force.

        I already pointed out the logical fallacies one of your posts, in which virtually every word was part of a logical fallacy. That must be very embarrassing for you as a grown man. I don’t think I need to embarrass you further. But keep going. Tell me again that I’m a Nazi.

          Yes, I know you claimed every part of it was a logical fallacy. That doesn’t make it true. Much like this is a falsehood:

          Tell me again that I’m a Nazi.

          I still have not called you a Nazi. I don’t know why you’ve lied about that twice now. It’s interesting that you think your lying would embarrass me.
